Very interesting. Where do I start?
First, the hi res data is sharper than some Ha data I have taken with the RC. Mind you I could sharpen it a lot more yet but I doubt that my RC Ha data would equal this data.
Second, in my viewing of this object at high mag I can see the lobes and the jets. However the overwhelming colour of this material is orange. Do you think it ought to be this colour in your image? I would have thought so.
Third, this I reckon would be one of the best amateur images of this region that I have seen. Peter Wards is certainly with it but if one looks at the relative apertures of each OTA it certainly speaks volumes for the particular telescope. You might just have one of those extra freaky telescopes in your possession Mike. I have never seen sharper images from an AP than yours. It makes my Tak look positively poor (yes it is only a 4" and no comparison but Tak scopes are no slouch).
The reach of your scope is it seems limitless. Well done.
